Program modules are practical training sessions of weeks or days in companies and institutions, Master Classes by international networked speakers and cooperation with selected universities. A 10-week German language course rounds off the program. The ISA is a project of the non-profit organization Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald Landesverband Hamburg e. V.
If your organisation, activities, or projects are not sustainable or do not have a sustainable component you can apply if you plan for its sustainability.
